It looks like you DO have the caliper on the rear/back side. Where is your jack? (looks like its on the axle when you were looking at clearance) On the axle or leaf spring? Does it give you any more clearance from the FRAME when the wheel is on its not jacked up? I'm sure youve thought of that, but just in case.....I'm doing the same swap right now, haven't put the axle back under the jeep but I'm hoping I don't run in to clearance issues. Good luck.

Hit me up via PM if interested.. still the same price.. $25 shipped. Think I've got about 5-6 sets on the shelf..

Edit: I cut these brackets regularly. I try to keep a half dozen sets or so laying around.

Also, if anyone is doing a one-off mix/match setup, feel free to hit me up for custom brackets. You'd need to supply the DXF File (if you have access to CAD).. or send me an accurate template from stiff cardboard/MDF/1/4" plywood..etc. Just make sure it's accurate. What you send me in cardboard, is what I send you back in 3/8" steel plate

I would imagine most flat caliper brackets can be done for about $20-$25 per set.. and ship via Flat Rate Box for $5-$10.. depending on size of brackets.

'80 CJ5 w/AMC360, T176, D44 w/Detroit 4.56, RE 4" YJ lift and 35s..

Prepping to do this swap in the next couple of weeks. Did you have the clearance issues that you were concerend about?

I hear all the good info on the swap to discs. but why discs?
Drums work fine? They use them on most heavy dudty trucks pickups and such? discs are a bit simpler and such but will you actually notice the stopping improvment ?

Well, if you ever do any wheeling in someplace like here in Florida, you'll find that you're often in mud & dirty water. This junk packs up drum brakes fairly quickly, rendering them useless.

Discs, on the other hand are more easily cleaned & therefore functional.
